Make the cones out of card stock paper material or fliers that are a bit more sturdier.

Tape the cones and then cover them well with aluminum foil, so that no paper shows.

Set them aside.

Allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes. Take each piece of dough and roll into a 36 inch rope.

Roll the dough ropes around the greased 6 inch cream horn tubes.

Place onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and brush with the egg glaze. Sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds or even both.

Cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rest for 30 minutes in a warm environment.
